What I learned from this conversation …
1. How incredibly connected the three inquiries are!
2. That I'm giving myself more work to do....but it's okay because it's a topic of tremendous interest to me and that I think I'll learn a lot from it.
3. That I need to watch (and possibly transcribe) the video of my lunch with the focal students and see what information it gives me that I hadn't noticed or am not thinking of.
My next steps are …
1. Create a concrete path to collect another data source. Options:
a. record the 3 focal students having a conversation and listen to it with them to listen for "interesting" words
b. have focal students pay attention to their own speech and notice if any of the words they're identifying in their word lists are translating into conversation
c. collect word data and chart or record on a weekly basis - either have 1 focal student be "in charge" or consider charting -- in this include relationships of words that they know or hear me model
2. Watch the video and listen carefully -- see what I can glean from that.
3. Consider having lunch with the focal students one more time before winter break, but definitely before January's meeting. Perhaps have lunch with them 1:1 to have a deeper conversation with them alone.
